Can try dj-version to see if the mod is loaded at all?

 

Then you can have a look into the server log at start-up. The mod logs out a lot of status messages, all tagged with "[sCRIPTING MOD]". If a script is loaded, or cannot be loaded or is ignored for any reason, it would say so in the log.

 

There were reports that different line endings on Linux could cause troble, but I believe that was only for Lua scripts...

 

Just check in the scripts folder below the ScriptingMod directory if the js-sleepers.js script is there and the content loks alright. If in doubt, get a fresh copy.

All scripts are registered with an addition. ^M should not be there i think. You might wanna check the header of the scripts where the name is defined.

 

Cheers

 

-edit- or try calling it like its registered. With ^M at the end.

[djkrose]

I was asked by a few people what my fix for the corpse dupe exploit is. Well, this is basically it:

 

In class EntityZombie:

 

 

The problem is that "isUserAccessing()" doesn't work on multiplayer, because the client never tells the server when it opens the corpse. So my fix checks if the corpse was opened (not "untouched" anymore) and if so, it empties it's content before the gore block is created. Without this, the "CopyLootContainerDataFromOther" would here just copy (aka duplicate) whatever is in the zombie corpse.

 

Why doesn't TFP just add this?

It's not a perfect fix. If a player just opens a corpse and then closes it (unsure whether to loot, or he wants to leave it for a friend) then the loot is still emptied when the corpse turns into a gore block. While I would always prefer an imperfect fix over a duple exploit, I can see why TFP is hesitent to patch it like this. Doing it right would take much more effort, because the client-server communication would need to be changed, possibly putting more load on the server.

Prisma is right, the commands are registered with an extra "^M" at the end apparently. This is due to the different newline characters on Linux as mentioned before.

 

I don't think calling the command with literally "^M" at the end works, because it's just a placeholder for the actual \n (ASCII 10) character that Windows is using for line endings but Linux isn't.

 

This is already on my fix list, but to get the scripts working on Linux you would need to convert them to Linux line endings.

 

I don't know how that could be done on Linux (anyone an idea?). Try to open the script in a Linux text editor and save it again. Or if you transferreed the files via FTP, use ASCII mode to transfer the .js files.

Edit: Or ask @alwaysnoone - on page 6 he mentioned that he corrected the line endings.

ScriptingMod v0.14 - Download

 

This release contains a new repair mode that fixes bugged trees automatically. I mean those trees that have zero HP but still don't fall, but instead give a big chunk of wood on every hit, thus being considered an exploit.

 

As with all repair modes, it can be executed one-time or run repeatedly in the background.

One-time repair:

dj-repair t

 

Activate/deactivate auto-repair mode every 10 minutes:

dj-repair t /auto

 

Just check without repairing anything:

dj-repair t /sim

 

It will let you know in the server log if and how many bugged trees were found and repaired.

 

See help dj-repair for details on this and all the other repair modes.

I try call commands with ^M but not work., also try load scrupt in nano linux editor and don't see any problem with newline, something else is wrong but I don't know what.

It's not something else; from the "^M" it's pretty clear that this is a newline ending problem. That nano editor most likely can interpret both types of line endings. I can't tell you how, but you need to convert the text file into linux line endings.

Notepad++ can do it. Just open the file with notepad++ and click edit then EOL Conversion and select unix (LF) then just save it

One day 7 days to die will just work lol.

giving your tool a go i have many battered servers that need some love.

hats off to your work.

i have no idea what it does

but i know i have adopted it on all my SMS marked servers.

 

it works like a good old granny running through the house flying on her broom cleaning up everything.

the servers just run better.

 

Thank You.

Sorry just seen this post.

 

You might try giving Notepadqq a try then. It's supposed to be a Notepad++ like editor for the Linux desktop.

Seems to me that it would all be solved if the corpse body was destroyed upon closing the container, just like supply crates. That coupled with your fix, doesn't matter if they can't make up their mind, the stuff is on the ground grab it or don't, it will despawn soon.

 

[edit] in fact, why does the gore version of the corpse even need to store loot? Seems like not a very important feature to have.

What is it that prevents you from opening a chest when another player is accessing it if IsUserAccessing doesn't work? Could whatever does that be used instead?

To fix non-working scrits on linux

 

* Open script in nano

nano serverfiles/Mods/ScriptingMod/scripts/js-test.js

* Use save "CTRL-O"

You can see wrong format in bottom line:

File Name to Write [DOS Format]: serverfiles/Mods/ScriptingMod/scripts/js-test.js

* Press ALT-D

line is changed to

File Name to Write: serverfiles/Mods/ScriptingMod/scripts/js-test.js

no MSDOS here ! Yay!

* press enter, then "CTRL-X" to exit.

 

Check the log file:

2017-12-10T18:30:19 3713.557 INF [sCRIPTING MOD] Changes in scripts folder detected. Reloading commands ...

There is no carriage return after "js-test". And its working now

Repeat for all needed scripts in the folder.

That's actually one of the very simple solutions to the problem, which everyone can just do with XML setting destroy_on_close="true", but a) it puts your server in modded, and b) people would complain a lot about lost loot. Items do *not* drop on the groun on close, they just disappear. Same with supply crates. Happened to me countless times when I clicked on "read" in a book in the crate. It closed the container, read the book, and everything else was gone. Also you couldn't just look in a body and leave the content for your friend.

 

[edit] in fact, why does the gore version of the corpse even need to store loot? Seems like not a very important feature to have.

 

The dev's wanted to get rid of the zombie body as quick as possible because it occupies lots of computation power (physics, collision, position updates, ticks, ...). Gore blocks on the other hand are blocks and just occupy a few bytes of memory and almost no cpu. On horde night, the server couldn't handle all the bodies or they would block spawn of new zombies. They are still count as entities and count towards the max entity setting.

 

But you are right, gore blocks wouldn't NEED to have loot other than the harvesting material of itself (like with animals). It was just a design decision to not despawn loot quickly. People would complain if they fight horde all night and by the end 80% of the loot is already despawned.

 

What is it that prevents you from opening a chest when another player is accessing it if IsUserAccessing doesn't work? Could whatever does that be used instead?

 

Good observation! I investigated into this question many hours already:

 

When a client opens a container it actually announces a lock on it to all other clients (GameManager.TELockServer). All other clients then obey this lock until they receive the unlock signal (GameManager.TEUnlockServer). The server itself never stores this status, just distributes the log signals (NetPackageTELock.ProcessPackage).

 

TELockServer can also be called for Entity objects (see EntityCar.OnEntityActivated) but it absolutely requires an associated TileEntity at the entity's position to apply the lock to. It exists for fixed-position entities like cars or traders, but not for moveable entities like zombies or zombie-bodies (they cann roll down a hill).

 

In summary

 

• It is only implemented for TileEntities not for objects derived from EntityAlive.
  
• The server can't use this mechanism itself for decisions because it has no clue who currently has a lock. (*)
  

 

Therefore it requires quite a few changes both client- and server-side to make it work for zombie bodies, although it shouldn't be impossible.

 

.ooOO( djkrose )OOoo.

 

(*) This makes me think of a possible new dupe exploit:

1) Player A is logged of.

2) Player B opens a chest with good items.

3) Player A logs in and opens the chest (possible?).

4) Both players loot the same items.

Can someone try this out?

Hi djKrose. It is possible to make a script equal to the dj-regen but to regenerate in "all the map" only the "cars" ???

It is very tiring to do it manually

Interesting idea; i have the same problem on my server.

Cars are generated as part of the game's last decoration step together with large prefabs, vegetation, etc., so I'll have to see if I can cut that part out and just generate cars.

 

Two poblems I see already:

* What if the terrain was digged deeper? Is the car being spawned flying in the air?

* What if someone built a base where the car was? Is the generated car destroying his base?

 

Even if that is solved, an admin still needed to go around from time to time and regenerate cars; a pretty tedious task. I'd like to find a more automated solution with a generic server-wide car respawn, similar to how loot in chests respawns.

 

That is part of my bigger goal (at least for me) to create a self-maintaining server that can run for years without degredation, constantly renewing itself where necessary, without ever needing a reset. Similar to an MMORPG like WoW.

[Guppycur]

Pull the coords from the hcd's, and respawn the cars at that location, right after checking to see if the block below is a terrain block, in which case don't.

 

...optimal? Nope. =)

i seem to remember seeing something like this on a xml mod around here somewhere... i think they had the cars break down into some small block that if left alone would upgrade like a plant into one of the 3 car stages after a while. something to look into.

 

Anabella did it first here, and then Royal Deluxe updated it to 16.4 for his mod here
